Record of Decision System (RODS)

The Record of Decision System (RODS) contains full-text Records of Decision (RODs),
ROD Abstracts, ROD Amendments (AMDs) and Explanations of Significant Differences (ESDs).
A ROD provides the justification for the remedial action (treatment) chosen at a Superfund
site. It also contains site history, site description, site characteristics, community
participation, enforcement activities, past and present activities, contaminated media,
the contaminants present, scope and role of response action and the remedy selected for cleanup.

The RODS Search page allows the simultaneous use of multiple search criteria (e.g., a single search
can be done by state, keyword, document type and fiscal year). The
Customized CERCLIS/RODS Report Order Form
can be used to provide missing document information or ask questions. Additionally, each site
details page includes a link to site information in the
Superfund Site Information which contains
information on hazardous waste sites, potentially hazardous waste sites and remedial activities
across the nation.

Using RODS, you can search by state, site name or EPA ID for specific ROD documents, or by keyword (such as a contaminant or remediation type) across all ROD documents.
